Attitudes are contagious—are you catching the right ones? The way you talk to yourself and connect with others shapes your outcomes more than you realize.

Listen as Donna and Londina uncover the hidden habits behind positive attitudes, and why your circle—and your internal conversation—may be the difference between struggle and success.

What you need to know

We all have an inner voice, and often it’s much harsher than any critic or adversary could be.

Many people don’t realize how negative that self-talk is, because it feels natural—until you stop and listen. Our brains are wired to keep us comfortable, and they’ll create worst-case scenarios to hold us back. These patterns aren’t unique; almost everyone experiences them.

But, attitudes—both positive and negative—are contagious, and the people you spend time with influence your frame of mind and your results. Feeding your mind with positive input helps recalibrate both your mood and your expectations.

What you need to do

Start by becoming aware of the voice in your head. Notice what you’re saying to yourself and challenge the negativity. Seek out positive relationships and limit interactions with those who drain your energy.

If you’re surrounded by negativity you can’t escape, intentionally spend more time with positive people to balance it out. Feed your mind regularly with books and podcasts that encourage optimism—like this one.

Make a conscious effort to starve your fears and feed your faith, even if that means acting with courage before you see the staircase ahead.
